Bruce Wilson of Provo, Utah thought on 2/23/2004 that this photo was displayed properly and added the following:
"This is shot through a Cokin blue/yellow polarizer. I was just holding it in front of the lens as best I could, but wasn't aligned very well. In the end I liked the effect, so left it full-frame. Sort of an unintentional vignette, much like the very early field cameras that used lenses with small image circles. I've tried printing similar shots, but always come back to this one." 6341

"I saw Byrce Canyon for the first time last December. It took my breath away. Then, again in May and I was blown away one more time. Although I came close to seeing the sentinel, I could not go down far enough to see it. Thank you for sharing this extremely good photograph with us all. This is probably better than what I would ahve seen on that cloudy day. I may take another trip there since my doughter and son-in-law are in SLC. You live in a wonderful country there. Regards, Cemal" 6263

Jonathan Bundick of Texas thought on 6/27/2002 that this photo was good and added the following:
"I like the subject, composition, and light. A little more exposure might help, but not too much could be improved on. Very nice warm feeling when viewed for several moments. " 3272

Bruce Wilson thought on 4/7/2001 that this photo was 'interesting' and added the following:
"I've always liked this shot, even thought there is a focus problem, and a slight imbalance in the composition. The light that afternoon was perfect, though. Shot outside the Madison SD Prarie Village antique tractor pull and all-around good time, this was the preparation for the ploughing contest. The train in the mid-gound is an old Arco switcher (about 1000 HP) that pulled four cards full of passengers around the site. The silos in the background are a nice reminder we are in the prarie. The shot could be fixed had I waited another moment for the engine to move about eight more feet, creating a line from the silos, thrjought the cab of the engine, to the head of the farmer. And closing down the shutter would have fixed the focus problem. Maybe next time." 3136
